Ford used different sizes depending on what stock they had. Best bet is to use an adjustable wrench and measure the one you have. My stock one was 7/8 inch.

100% correct. You have to buy the right replacement bushing that matches your diameter sway bar. Otherwise, the bushing'll be too lose or too tight, depending on which way it's off.

after you put the wrench around it do you just measure the wrench opening then?

Click to expand...

If you have a good adjustable wrench, it'll have markings on it already. If not, then just measure the gap.
